Advice & advocacy

MPA recognises the diversity of postgraduate students at Monash University and welcomes any postgraduate, whether local or international, to seek advice and advocacy on any issue which relates to their study.

MPA advisors

MPA employs a legally qualified advocate who is supported, if required, by qualified case workers, to provide guidance and support on any candidature related issue whether academic or administrative.

MPA offers one-on-one advice on a confidential basis without any fee being charged to postgraduates. Zuzana has helped hundreds of students - you can read some of their testimonials.

The best way to contact Zuzana for an appointment is via email. For those postgraduates located off-campus or studying via distance education, advice can be provided by email, and supported by phone calls (funded by the MPA).
